Studying the Effects of the Aquatic Exercise Rehabilitation Training on the Patients with Knee Ligament Injury

Abstract

As one of the most complex and flexible joints in the human body, the knee joint is highly susceptible to injury during exercise. Therefore, it is crucial to adopt a scientific approach to deal with sports knee injuries in a timely and effective manner. This study selected 20 individuals with similar physical parameters, like height and weight, from Tangshan Polytechnic College, China, all of whom had knee joint injuries caused by training. They were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group underwent aquatic rehabilitation training, while the control group received conventional land-based rehabilitation training. Their knee joints were assessed for pain levels, range of motion, functions, and weight-bearing capacity before and after the experiment. It was found that the flexion range of the knee joint of people receiving aquatic exercise rehabilitation training was 10°greater than those receiving conventional training, the basic function score of the knee joint was approximately three points higher, and the bearing strength of the knee joint was about 10 kg larger. The experimental results show that both aquatic exercise rehabilitation training and conventional rehabilitation training can improve knee injuries caused by exercise; however, the rehabilitation effect of aquatic exercise rehabilitation training is better than that of conventional training.
